2017 in India
2017 in India was marked by significant political, social, and economic events that shaped the nation's trajectory. The year witnessed the implementation of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on July 1, a landmark reform aimed at unifying the country's tax structure. The Indian government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, emphasized initiatives such as Digital India and Make in India. Socially, the year was notable for debates surrounding nationalism, with the rise of intolerance and protests advocating for minority rights. Additionally, the year saw devastating natural disasters, including floods in the northeastern states. The Supreme Court played a pivotal role in historical rulings, including the decriminalization of consensual same-sex relationships.
